Dr. Don is the BOMB-BETA! Dr. Don is funny, super cool, has the latest dental technology, the nicest staff in history, he is the most compassionate person I have met in years and he is a good person, like his loving wife Janet, his staff in his office, and each Dr. who donates time to CDA Cares! I am so happy I met you all, you are life changers, and angels! FANTASTIC FOLKS!
Dr. Don found me outside of the Ca Dentist Association program CDA Cares. This is a traveling program for people with ZERO, that's right NO MONEY, to offer for care. I didn't think I was going to be helped when I went to Fresno, and waited for a few hours in line because It was so close to being the end of the convention, I thought I would only get minimal work done through them after speaking to the initial intake care people.
I was found crying in the lobby waiting for my boyfriend to exit the triage intake session. Dr. Don saw me crying, and asked his wife what was wrong. Sweet dear Janet walked right up and with tissue, soon following Dr. Don appeared. They were not going to let me leave fresno unless I got the help I needed, and boy did I need help. I got my permanent teeth knocked out as a very young child, right after they grew in in the second grade. I went for a couple of years without anything but a rotted out looking tooth in the upper front of my mouth, then I went to get it fixed finally. They capped it, and some years later it had to go, so they provided me a bridge. The bridge worked for a decade or maybe a bit more, and I went through two posts in one of my other teeth (part of the bridge.) Finally the time came when it had to go. I had many other broken teeth in my mouth and they all needed out, plus a cavity, and let's just say big problems were on the rise in the other few front teeth!
Dr. Don and Janet took me under there wing, they were persistent and caring. They are compassionate people who have done so very much for me, a simple stranger off the street they didn't even know. I think of CDA cares and I want to give back to the people who made me smile again. I will be volunteering my time to CDA Cares when ever they are in my neck of the woods! Call me, I will work to give back to the people who gave so much to me! It is the least I can offer for my smile again.
Dr. Don and Janet, Staff at Elk Grove Orthodontics, and to each Dr. and Assistant who participated in restoring my smile, you are amazing people! Thank you so much for treating me with respect, and for giving and reminding me what compassion and true care is. Without you, my faith in humanity would not be so strong again. You reminded me that people should have compassion for others, and everyone matters!
I didn't come from a very fortunate family, I never had the middle class life as a child, so growing up as poor as I did, made me depressed and bitter over the years. Great things just don't happen to poor people very often. But thanks to CDA Cares and Dr. Don Rollofson, his many many Doctors traveling with CDA Cares and all the wonderful people working with them, his staff and especially Janet Rollofson, for reminding me to love others, and always think of your neighbor, you never know what someone has gone through, they may just need a little help, that if you can help, you should help! If you take the time to look, you will find...... Compassion and Concern, Respect and Thoughtfulness. These are the things I learned from CDA Cares and Dr. Don and Janet Rollofson! These folks are the positive go getters that this nation was founded on. They saw people, they saw them hurting, needing, and going without! They dove in and took the initiative to make a difference where and when they could, and they are changing lives in our state!
I GIVE DR. DON 10 STARS! Because he is double the rave reviews to me! His staff is very kind and awesome, and I must only say thank you, I am so grateful to have made your acquaintance.
Respectfully,
